French chef Daniel Boulud on why his new Hong Kong restaurant wonโ€™t chase Michelin stars


Daniel Boulud is a chef celebrated for his exceptional culinary skills, innovative French cuisine and influential restaurants.

Born in France, he trained under legendary chefs including Georges Blanc and Michel Guรฉrard before moving to New York, where he earned acclaim for blending classic French techniques with modern flavours.

Boulud is also a bestselling author and TV personality, and his flagship restaurant in New York, Daniel, currently holds one Michelin star.

Over the years, food enthusiasts have flocked to his restaurants in places such as Miami, Toronto, Dubai, Singapore and Beijing (where Maison Boulud closed in 2013). Soon, Hong Kong will be the latest city to host an outpost of the chefโ€™s restaurant empire.
